Subject: An email that we received

We received the following email recently:

In my 10 years plus of membership of Bermagui Country Club I had never won the coveted monthly medal, until 1 Iron came to the rescue last Saturday. I am now the proud owner of the April 2009 monthly medal – thank you, kind Sir.

My partners/opponents were stunned at the ease and accuracy of use of all clubs while the driver gave that extra zip off the tee that had been missing. None of us had, or have, any doubt that my handicap will tumble towards the much, much lower levels that I achieved many years ago while youth still prevailed.

Unlike many of your correspondents I did not achieve instant greatness on receipt of my set of 1 Irons. I most certainly straightaway noticed the difference and the wonderful feel of the clubs although initially I could not replicate the feats of some of your correspondents.

Belief in your 1 Iron concept kept me going and I have improved inexorably since receiving them just on a year ago. Other previous new sets of clubs would always work for a few weeks, sometimes months, but then fade into disuse through continued lack of success. Not so for your clubs which improve my game markedly in some respect with every outing.

To give you a rough idea here are some figures:

In the year or so prior to having the set of 1 Irons I was playing at an horrific 40% over handicap on average. Only the very occasional 'good' game saved me from descent into Hell. In the first 6 months of owning and learning to use the 1 Irons my average had dropped to under 30% over handicap. Over the past 6 months this has gone further down to just over 20% above handicap while the most recent 2 months has seen this figure fall to between 15% and 18% above.

These figures may not sound or look spectacular but all golfers may well be surprised, if not shocked, to find out that their average percentage over handicap lies at a much higher level than they'd ever have considered.

Competition wins have gone from exceedingly rare to an almost regular occurrence since hefting the 1 Irons. My handicap, which had shot out from its low of 10 some 3 or 4 years ago to a very worrying 18 (almost 19 actually) a year ago, has now become a downward spiraling 15 (the actual figure is 14.5 as of Saturday's medal win). 1 Iron has reversed a terrible trend of long standing.

I have no doubts, nor do my regular partners, to tell you the truth, that this trend will continue until the good man upstairs decides “This is as far as I can allow a man of his advanced years to improve”. Hopefully he will make that figure one that I have so far, in a long golfing career, failed to achieve – a single figure handicap. It sure feels headed all the way there. Now, won't that be something?

Sincerely and Thank you all,

L.H., Australia
